I'd love to know about Happy Underground Sushi. I know sometimes the sushi rice is or is not safe based on the type of vinegar used. Could you please share any ordering tips and what's your favorite on the menu? Thanks

You mustn't forget these:

Cafe Mariposa (Oakland) gluten-free Bakery. -frozen pizzas to take home, bagels, breads, delicious! (Sneak in the wine store next door for gluten-free beer)

Bobby G's Pizzaria (On University in Berkeley)- gluten-free pizza with Still Ridin' Crusts, has a much better take on what's gluten-free in their toppings and CC than Rustica does*

SF Soup Company (All over) Designates gluten-free,DF, etc on the menu, knowledgable staff.

Zadin (Castro) - gluten-free menu, amazing vietnamese food, great wait staff.

Amici's pizza in Dublin and San Jose (not the one in the city yet, but I keep pestering them :P) has gluten-free pizza with dedicated prep and cook areas. Really delicious (Still Riding Crusts) The Fried eggplant and the meatball are the only toppings not gluten-free.

Cafe Gratitude does have a couple things that have gluten, they tried to go completely gluten-free and couldn't quite manage it, but they are all very aware of what's going on.

*I really used to love Rustica, but the wait staff there has changed, no one can give me a clear answer on which toppings are gluten-free, and I don't think they are as good with CC as they used to be, I've gotten sick there the last few times I went.

Don't forget Dosa on Valencia and 21st in SF. They have a whole chart of allergens for each dish on the menu, and they update it as the specials change. I love this place.

I asked them about contamination. They do use the same giant grill, but it's big enough that they can cook the wheat dosas on one side. There are only about 3 things (wheat dosas) on the entire menu that contain wheat anyway.

I've also had really good luck with Taste and Sauce, both on Gough St. in Hayes Valley. They are nicer restaurants. I emailed ahead, and they were very knowledgeable about everything.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
